Materials Data on Tb3Ge5 by Materials Project

Abstract

Tb3Ge5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fdd2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Tb sites. In the first Tb site, Tb is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten Ge atoms. There are a spread of Tb–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.48 Å. In the second Tb site, Tb is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to ten Ge atoms. There are a spread of Tb–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.98–3.49 Å. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Tb and three Ge atoms. There are a spread of Ge–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.58–2.65 Å. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six Tb and two equivalent Ge atoms. In the third Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six Tb and two equivalent Ge atoms.
